A LITTLE BREATHER: Pacing Myself

In the middle of all the emails and calls for accountability, I have to remember to pause as my wellness is my priority. Often, a small pause is all it takes to regain perspective, recharge energy, or receive the next inspiration. And in the spirit of Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog (I’m the sheepdog), you’ll know when I’ve clocked back in.

This is what I'm calling "A Little Breather"—a few moments or days that I'll take now and then to reflect, share what’s happening behind the scenes, and give us a chance to step away from the darkness. There was a time when I couldn’t step away due to so much pain and trauma, not even for a minute. I don’t take it for granted now that I can.

I also remind myself that this journey isn’t only about holding others accountable—it’s about honoring my own path, celebrating the courage I’ve gained to speak up, and staying true to who I’ve become. I wobble in that area sometimes because I'm not the same person I was when this began. We are all a work in progress.

So today, I invite you—whether you’re on this side of the fence or the other—to take a moment with me. Breathe, reflect, and notice the little things that mean so much more than all of this bullshit. Fill up on what’s good and fresh, and let it carry you into tomorrow.
